Yah this is somewhat what I was referring to earlier too. But % wise how much of the cross IOR traffic (i.e CHN to gulf and CHN to suez and CHN to RSA cape etc) stops at Indian ports? I don't think very many as bulk carriers and tankers are quite long range these days:

Interesting to see SCMP applying pressure on CCP for it. Lately SCMP has been more pro-CCP last decade or so.

Welcome to @tanveer666 (y)

bdmilitary/defesca are a rumour mill 99% of time. Apparently HISAR was also selected according to them last year in 2019. But in actuality the selection is to be made now. HISAR (from what I have heard behind scenes) has a good chance to get selected because BD wants to continue to improve...

But then again, it reminds me somewhat of how PRC and ROC go about doing their affairs and business (at least before the last cpl years when things have turned way more frosty). i.e PRC and ROC both assert full territorial claims on each other, both stating themselves to be the only legitimate...

Well met. Welcome my friend. Yeah I think the significance of the 12nm lies not with the islands close to Turkish coast etc (given the median rule by narrowness)....but the further interior aegean islands/rocks where 12nm would be applied from each one of them, effectively presenting a full...

Ah this makes things clearer then. By extending to 12 nm in western area, Greece can then potentially use this precedent later for 12nm claim in aegean from each of its islands there as shown in wiki under "Aegean dispute" (max potential for both parties in aegean using 12nm): From what I...

Hope HISAR wins it.

If they are extending it to 12nm now (which UNCLOS does allow for as long as medians are not upset like say around corfu/albania)...what exactly did they have it as before this?

Everything is so compressed as it is in the maritime boundary there between Greece and Turkey, because of number of islands Greece has and the proximity of many of them to Turkish coastline... I just looked at map right now for islands like Lesvos, Chios, Samos, Kos and of course Rhodes...the...

You think so? Ionian sea is the westward facing sea w.r.t Greece (pointing toward Italy).

Interesting write up my friend, I will be reading through it a bit later in more detail. Out of interest, as far as you know, do the current AFG govt and Taliban actively claim any kind of successor state status to the previous AFG govts that extended the various recognitions to Durrand line...

You got here, thats what matters. Welcome buddy.

I think: a) This very much depends on who is involved in the conflict/war in first place (given geopolitical alliance domino nature for something of this scale in first place). Whole thing changes drastically for example if if US + allies are involved against PLAN....compared to just IN vs...

Yes this is true, though logistically they can do a breakout hugging Myanmar coast and then slip through coco island (where I believe they have presence for SIGINT etc to coordinate) area as follows...assuming best case scenario for the canal project itself: After improving sensoring and...

The strategic significance is quite obvious for cooperation between IND and INA at this maritime chokepoint: Here is bit more focus into the main areas of note for Sabang island:

Pinned. I'll pin the major category threads like this for now.
